Looks like I’m heading to Frederick for shopping and restaurants. What is wrong with our politicians?
Drunk on power
That article is nearly a month old. I highly doubt a vaccine passport will pass.
Was in the news yesterday. Very much still under consideration and very likely to pass, IMO. Though, I am opposed.

This is America. We don’t need to show papers to get into a restaurant. They can ask all they want, because the law will require them to do so. But I’m not complying. I’ll politely say no thank you, and walk right past.
They asked. They fulfilled their govt-imposed requirement. I refused. So at that point. it’s on me, not them. They’re absolved of responsibility. And I’m happy to be arrested for noncompliance, because I’d like to be the test case.
Yeah, regardless of whether someone personally is vaccinated, all citizens in this country should be disturbed by the idea of vaccine mandates. One day it will be something that we disagree with that we’re being forced to get, and there will be a precedent then. Just remember that. I’d rather reject all mandates.
I disagree. If vaccines were 95 percent effective against infectious disease then I would have no problem with a mandate, and it would make sense. But given they are probably less than 50 percent effective against omicron by this measure, I don’t think we can justify the hassle, let alone the infringement of liberties.
I can understand that point, but I do disagree.
The actual Covid shots have only been around two years. Even is 99% effective, that is too soon to mandate anything. Especially for 12 year olds.
Maybe years from now? But, hopefully that point will be moot and Covid is over by then.

Plus one million
+2 million
I agree with this reasoning.
Not to mention Pfizer is hugely benefiting. Just wait until they figure out a litany of additional vaccinations (that are 50% effective) that they can administer to every single person in the County.

You would be on the right side of history, if not the right side of the ‘law’.
And come back and post! I would contribute to your legal defense.
I feel SO strongly about this being a bad idea and am watching it very closely. Nothing good will come about as a result of this. Nothing.
Based on the data, history will not look back kindly on the idea of Covid vaccine mandates, as the situation currently stands.

Unfortunately, we do have a history of requiring ‘papers’. Lest we forget, free Blacks in the South were required to carry their ‘papers’ with them everywhere.
I cannot even believe they are even considering this. And, I read that it will even apply to kids age 5-11, beginning in March 2022. Kids?!?

In our county, with the sky high vaccination rate, it's pointless. Omicron is infecting everyone, even the boosted (me!).
The passport idea won't solve anything, it's an outdated idea.
Sounds exactly like something the County Council would embrace.
Like they just did in DC. They already cited the fact that DC passed the vaccine passport as a reason to pass it in MoCo.
I find it sad and pathetic that the quality of governance in MoCo has fallen so far that they just now copy everything that DC does. I really cannot believe it and it makes me really concerned for the future.
Just imagine if in the 1980s or 1990s MoCo was just a DC follower. Oh, how things have changed.

in DC you can literally just say "I have a religious exemption" when going into a bar or whatever and you don't need to produce any kind of proof of the exemption - bowser stated this at one of her recent pressers. so these mandates are literally a clown show and do nothing to "protect" people.
But why do some people embrace these pointless clown shows? I don't understand what they think the benefit is when they know it's a joke, especially in the face of omicron and the continued mutation of the virus. Fauci today said almost everyone will be infected with omicron.

Awesome, good to know. Thank you.
My 12 year old is unvaccinated and I plan to have her lay low for a while if this passes and see how things go. Happy to take our business elsewhere, but would prefer to stay in MoCo for now. We’ll see how it goes. Hopefully there is very lax enforcement.
